[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
haven't had it enough to estimate screen-on hours (other people say 4-7 hours?)

but a major difference to me is definitely idle life. the find5 sucks too much power during idle during the work day, so I only get 2 hours screen-on(+6-12 hours idle) before needing to charge

I'm talking about more nexus5 devs than find5 devs... you just get more choices (of ROMs, kernels) at the end of the process
[Oppo Find 5] Deleted member 3059875:
I thought about changing after seeing the lack of dev support for the find5 and seeing how much the n4 got, but with the great work being done by maxwen/omni team/cfxc It's proving to be a great phone, but if they moved on, I guess I'd move on too.
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
played around enough to get an estimate about battery life

for screen-on, I feel the nexus 5 is roughly the same / slightly better... 300-700 mAh current draw (18-30%/hour) when browsing... so 3-5 hours screen-on for my usage, which is similar to the range I can get on the find 5. (some people can get 6-7 hours.. I assume they don't stress/demand the CPU as much as I do, keeping it around 200-300mAh, which would last 7 hours (300mAh * 7 = 2100~ battery size) <- If I just do plain video watching on nexus 5 at brightness level 2-3 out of 10, I use around 200-300mAh

the nexus 5 just outshines the find 5 for idle battery usage.

(each bulletpoint = independent data point about my usage after charging to 100%). GPS off, only using AGPS, brightness at 20%, sync on (4 gmail accounts) with data @ HSPA/+, NO wifi usage, google now running (but disable the hotword detection

10 hours since 100% charged, 45 minute screen on (~30 minutes browsing, 15 minutes watching video), I'm at 80% battery left.

30 hours since 100% charged, 2 hours screen on (~80% browsing, 20% videos/games/other), I'm at 30% battery. 10 of the 30 hours = me asleep, but still syncing on mobile data getting email updates

nexus 5: I predict I can go 24 hours with 3 hours screen-on time before hitting 0% with my usage patterns

not possible on the find 5.

I just bought the Find 5 instead of the Nexus 5 comming from the Galaxy Nexus i just don't like the plastic and bad camera/sound on nexus devices
[Oppo Find 5] webbles17:
The nexus 5 has that great soft touch. But the find 5 is amazingly built, unique design IMHO, and the speaker is the loudest I've ever heard. With viper4android of course lol.
[Oppo Find 5] TKPL:
IMHO Find 5 feels more solid and drop-resistant (of course I cannot make a drop test :D ).

Please and thank yall. =)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yagermeister:
Nexus 7 was running slow. I had Teamwin recovery on the device and was stock 4.3 unlocked/partially rooted. Booted device into recovery and wiped cache, dalvik, usb otg, sd int, and sd ext, and data. Teamwin somehow remained. While trying to use WugFreshs tool I must have restored the recovery to stock...maybe. The device is now always on and will not turn and you cannot get into recovery but you can reboot and get to the bootloader. At this point I tried the flash stock/unroot soft-brick feature of Wugfresh and it does not work even if I enabled Force Flash Mode.

Tried doing this thru adb but have limited adb skills and with the instructions I was following it assumed USB debugging was enabled (my device was wiped so not sure about that).

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziffius:
Mine is also knackered, I have no write access at all to the flash memory; i've even tried the wheelie option in flatline and even that can't write to it. I get the impression that all these toolkits really do is run the flashall.batch file that's in the stock recovery downloaded from google. From reading the threads, some seem to have success after flashing dozens of times. So what I'm going to do is loop the flashall.bat and leave it repeatedly flashing for a few hours. I'd also use the second most recent stock firmware to easily avoid the 4.23 bootloader issue or do what is says in the stock flashing thread. The extracted downloaded stock roms will be in wugs program files directory, just copy fastboot/adb/ dll files from the main directory and run flashall a few times.

I downloaded MSkip's toolkit a few days ago, so its on here somewhere, But for me it just crashes, doesn't even attempted to flash. Guessing it's a complied batch file which uses fastboot/ adb, so you should be capable of doing anything that it can do.

What about G520 with Snapdragon

I have a Huawei G520-0000. I think my model has a Snapdragon 400, while the G520-5000 has the mk you mention.

I managed to root it, unlock the bootloader and install Rom Manager.

I downloaded a MIUI rom

But there is no information about how to install it.

I found an alleged cwm for my phone called cofface_recovery_g520-0000_MobileX Firmware. The file is a .img, but I don't know how to install it for Rom Manager.

Any advice about how can I install the MIUI in the G520-0000 would be welcomed.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] akxak:
The description of the S-Pen detection is wrong, this has nothing to do with forgetting the S-Pen, the detdction cares shere the S-Pen is in its slot or not. If it is in his slot and the detection is rnabled, the digitizer is disabled thus saving battery. The detection needs to be switched off and thus digitizer always on if a second pen is used while the original is in its slot.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
I just looked into this again and you're absolutely correct. I fixed that portion. I had it confused with the "Pen Keeper" feature from the Note 2 and 3. Thanks akxak.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ryangan:
Thanks for this! Already noticed a significant difference. Should easily last two days with regular mixed use.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jack880:
Thanks a lot mate. Good tips.

I didn't know it was bad to leave the charger attached once the battery is charged. I assumed the battery electronics would ensure the battery didn't get overcharged.

I leave my laptop plugged most of the time.... Is this bad too then?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] sdelliott31:
Great tips and tweaks. Thanks for the time care and knowledge sharing for us fellow owners. I used most of these.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Yeah they dont overcharge but a battery needs to disharge. I still do leave my laptop on charge all the time and tbh in the last 6 years i have had to replace my battery twice considering I use it a lot atleast 6hours a day i dont think its that bad. At a mere £30 battery replacements from ebay am happy to keep my laptop on charge all the time....however with a tablet i will deffo be careful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jack880:
My laptop has a sealed battery unfortunately. Could probably get it replaced though once the warranty has expired anyway...

Thing is if I keep discharging and charging it all day, a) it'll use up the limited number of charge cycles and b) chances are when I need to take it away somewhere the battery won't be fully charged... It's a samsung and it does have the option to never charge the battery above 80% to prolong its life - maybe I should switch that on...

Wonder why the tablets don't have that option?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Yeah that is unfortunate, these days people use laptops like desktops so battery should never be sealed.

Although surely if the tablet had a 80% charge limit and the plug was left in surely that wouldnt be good for it either. To be honest I think theres soo much factors when it comes to battery life that sometimes I think its too much hardwork haha.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
How does the S-pen alarm thing work? I didn't know there was a setting for that. I tested it with leaving the pen in my room and walking out with the note but there was no notification at all.

I have that s-pen detection setting unchecked and it seems like it doesn't even work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
You guys are all welcome. It was my pleasure.

Also, start posting pictures of your battery life and let's compare, see if we can't come up with more minor tweaks. Here's mine from my first rundown with those exact setting applied from my OP. I used it heavily for internet browsing that day.

To be honest, I didn't see this feature on the Note 2014. I know my Note II has it and I know the Note III has it. I could be wrong as I'm not near my tablet, so someone else can confirm whether or not this feature is missing. The feature is called Pen Keeper on my Note II.

Unfortunately, like an idiot, it didn't occur to me take that shot. But, it felt no different than my 4th generation iPad. I'm very happy with this tablet's battery life. Aside from my note 2, this probably has the strongest battery life of any android device I've ever used. Probably twice as strong as the nexus 10.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BooBoo_el_Locco:
Yeah, the max i got was 6h screen on
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
The maximum you got with these settings was 6 hours? Maximum? I don't know if your exaggerating with your use of the word maximum or have a defective unit? Some people on here and on Android central have these quick draining, slow charging defective units. That screen shot was from my first day with the device I did nothing but use it all day.

i've been getting about the same (9hrs+) without some of the things mentioned in OP but i keep my screen under 20% for the majority. i've seen some posts where they say to set it at 40 to make it useable, but damn 40% is just too bright for me in normal lighting!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BooBoo_el_Locco:

You get that screen on if you play alot plants vs zombies?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
Yeah I dunno, I thought the battery life was pretty good even without these tweaks. I was playing Trials for an hour or so the other day and it only drained like 3-4%. I've gone about 36 hours without charging it so far and its at around 45% - this is with moderate use and a lot of standby time. I will charge it when it dips below 30% as suggested in the post.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BooBoo_el_Locco:
Can you post some screnshots from your usage?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
I'm not going to lower the screen brightness whatsoever. I always leave it at a level that I want. If I have to sacrifice screen brightness, or anything for that matter, just to get decent battery life, then right back to the store this tablet will go. I have a 0 tolerance policy for crap like that and it all comes from owning the Nexus 10. A device with practically no bloatware and I used to have to keep the screen uncomfortably dim, just so I could use it throughout the day without charging it two or three times. And still every time I would go to use it it would be at 10% battery.

Also, the highest my screen brightness on this goes is 30% and that's rare. I'm usually very happy in the 10% - 20% range. I only use it indoors and it's a very bright screen. I have no need to go any higher, not to mention it hurts my eyes if it goes much higher than that. 40% sounds painful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
Tell me something BooBoo. Have you applied all the tweaks from my OP? And if you have then when you turn off the screen and you're not using the device, let's say for like a 4 hour period, does the battery drop? And if so, how much does it drop?

I ask because some guy on android central has this device and his battery has been draining quickly and charging slowly. In trying to figure out if there was something wrong with it, I had him apply all these tweaks and he told me it didn't really help. That's really strange, because a lot of those things are a major drain on the battery, but what really tripped me out is he said that when his screen was off for a couple of hours or so, it dropped by 5%. There is no way it should be losing battery that quickly! To compare I made sure to note the percentage of mine before turning the screen off and 3 1/2 hours later when I went back to use it, the battery level hadn't even moved. And it shouldn't because there is nothing going on in the background and your screen is off.

It's hard to compare mine to yours and yours to someone elses because we all use our tablets differently, but if your recent apps are closed, setting are the same, and screen is off. Then we should be getting the same level of discharge give or take a percentage.

Also, mine charges at a rate of around 40% every hour. Does yours compare?

We'll get to the bottom of this. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BooBoo_el_Locco:
Well. 10h with the screen off and it used 3%. I was using all those tweaks from the beginning. About the charging, mine charges 30%/h, maybe less
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
Hmmmm. Seems about right. It may or may not be charging a little slow, but I haven't actually clocked the charge to know exactly how quickly my does it. I'll make sure to pay attention to it for you when I charge it again tomorrow.

Also, do you close recent apps when you're not using them anymore? And do you clear the memory as well? I do this a lot, force of habit from my S3 and Note II.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BooBoo_el_Locco:
I will usit until 0 and then give the tablet a fullhd charge. I hope it gets better

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Not really, But i noticed that the battery drops the mostrar when i am watching a movie with the screen at 100%. And when i am playing pvsz the battery drops really fast, like 30min/20% down
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
100%!! lol that's an insanely bright screen man. If you're getting 6 hours with that guy on 100% or even above 50% then that's nothing short of incredible. You're battery is probably better than mine. I don't use mine above 30% and that's in rare circumstances, not that I'm trying to save battery life or anything, it physically hurts my eyes lol

100% plus doing something taxing like playing a game then that's pretty good imo. Remember, It's only a 8,200 mAh battery and the OS isn't some barebones one like iOS. There's nearly 300 background apps and processes. This thing is a whale bloatware wise.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
the latest update did a good job on standby time for me. i went from 4% per 12 hours to ~1.5% per 12. i only lost 4% from saturday afternoon to this morning 98 to 94. i keep wifi off and the pen detection off b/c i have a bamboo feel and don't wanna go through some setting to enable it. plus it doesn't affect battery much on any of my notes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
That's way better than mine. I get 6 or 7 at most. What apps are you using. To me it seems like ezpdf might be fairly taxing.

Here's mine.

This will come out to about 6 hours once it reaches 0.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ajamudc:
What brightness level do you keep your screen at?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
About 20 to 30 percent.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
I wonder why your Android OS & Android System are using twice the amount of battery as mine. I'm not too familiar with what exactly makes those two use up more or less battery. Also, Google Services is non-existent on mine. You seem to use a lot of various apps, but I feel like it shouldn't knock your screen time down to 6. Then again I can't tell from that screenshot just how many apps are taking a 2% bite out of your battery. It does add up.

Here's one thing I was thinking about adding to the OP as I was writing it, but I was unsure about whether or not it has an effect on battery life. I get the feeling it does, but I have to research it first before adding it. I've had a 802.11ac wireless router for a while now, but this is my first device to actually have a WiFi card capable of using that speed of wireless. With my 802.11n devices the signal strength fluctuates between half strength and full strength, but on 802.11ac it has rock solid full strength regardless of where I am in my house. Not to mention during wireless file transfers it moves files with nearly twice the speed. This could mean that the wireless aspect of the Note uses less battery because it never has to struggle and it's always lighting fast, but I can't be certain. Maybe they factor this in when Samsung says the device can last 10+ hours of heavy use, dunno yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
I am just using N. I tried a factory reset. We'll see if that helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ettepetje:
I keep my devices charged constantly, apart from brief periods, and discharge to about 10% every 2-4 weeks. This has been working very well the past 15 months or so on my iPads and Samsung gear.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
I found this article regarding 802.11ac and battery life. Seems there is a battery saving effect:

Extended battery life with 802.11ac

I wouldn't recommend you replace your perfectly good wireless N router for the newer variation just to save on battery life, but in due time you'll all have to upgrade your routers eventually and when you do you can look forward to your devices using a little less battery.

Also, this was a VERY surprising, after everything we've been told by companies:

Memory effect now also found in lithium-ion batteries

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
I ended up doing that factory reset and I am now on pace for almost 10 hours of screen on time (up from 6 or 7). I definitely recommend if others are having issues as well. It feels a lot faster as well. I had a launch day unit so maybe mine had some issues when I bought it that the ota didn't fix.

Sometimes when I'm playing games that drain the battery quickly I like to leave it plugged in in hopes I wont kill the life span of the battery, but have never been sure if I should be doing this because I have seen a lot of weird mixed reviews on the Internet.
